You’ve lost the weight, committed to taking care of yourself, or maybe just noticed that over time, your skin doesn’t bounce back the way it used to.
One of the things we hear most often during consultations is, “I just want this extra skin gone.”
Sometimes people pinch the skin along their jawline. Sometimes it’s around the neck, cheeks, stomach, or arms. They aren’t necessarily looking for a dramatic change. They simply want their skin to feel a little tighter and more like it used to.
Until recently, there weren’t many options for loose skin after weight loss.
Surgery was often the only treatment that could actually remove excess skin. While surgery can produce excellent results, it also comes with incisions, recovery time, and a much more involved healing process.
Ellacor® offers another option for the right candidate.
How Ellacor is Different
Unlike treatments that rely on heat to tighten skin, Ellacor uses tiny hollow needles to remove microscopic cores of skin. Those tiny pieces are gone. As your skin heals, the surrounding tissue naturally comes together, creating a smoother, tighter appearance.
It’s a completely different approach to addressing loose skin after weight loss.
The needles are incredibly small, which helps minimize the risk of visible scarring while allowing your body to heal naturally. Rather than stretching or filling the skin, Ellacor actually reduces the amount of excess skin by removing thousands of tiny micro-cores.
At this time, it’s the only FDA-cleared device that uses this micro-coring technology.
Who Can Benefit from Ellacor?
Ellacor is especially exciting for people experiencing skin laxity, whether it’s from:
- Natural collagen loss with aging
- Significant weight loss
- Changes after GLP-1 medications
- Loss of facial volume over time
It can be used to treat both the face and certain areas of the body, making it a versatile option for people who feel like loose skin is keeping them from fully enjoying the results they’ve worked hard to achieve.
What Does Treatment Look Like for Loose Skin After Weight Loss?
Each Ellacor treatment takes about 30 minutes. Before the procedure, we’ll numb the treatment area to keep you as comfortable as possible. (One of the benefits of receiving care at a med spa led by board-certified anesthesiologists.)
Every treatment plan is customized based on your goals, your skin, and the area being treated. During your consultation, we’ll talk through what you’re hoping to improve and whether Ellacor is the right fit.
Recovery looks a little different for everyone, but most people can return to normal daily activities within a few days while their skin continues its natural healing process. Improvements continue to develop over the weeks and months that follow.
If you’ve been wishing there was a way to address loose skin after weight loss without surgery, Ellacor may be worth exploring.
